Thus, this region should be avoided as the main control area and - in harnesses with low suspen-
sion or with very tall pilots - this is achieved by elongation of steering lines. Since not enough
distance is available above the shoulder (region of pull), the brake zone must be shifted into the
pressure zone (region of push).
Pilots who are smaller or whose harness is attached at a higher level, usually have the choice, fol-
lowing their own inclination, to retain the brakes at their shortest position and to control within the
region of pull (above the shoulders) or to adjust the brakes to a significantly longer position and to
steer within the lower arm position below the chest.
The brake distance must in any case allow the GREEN to be stalled upon landing without taking
wraps. This can also happen dynamically (while taking advantage of the oscillation effect).
Coiling the steering lines around the hands is not recommended since the pilot’s ability to interpret
the stall point is lost (shifting of reference point), the blood flow to the hands is blocked off and in
the case of having to use the safety chute the throwing hand is simply tied.
If you wish for a tighter connection to the toggle you should better use the “ski-stick” method
(slide the hand through the toggle with palms up and grab toggle from behind at the D-ring).
A carefully adjusted brake enables you to fly without exhausting yourself and with complete can-
opy control in all situations - without taking wraps! The adjustment made by the manufacturer
(at the marks) is only to be seen as a starting point from which the brakes may be lengthened if
required. Modification should be made in small steps of about 2 cm until the optimal position has
been reached. Please check for symmetrical adjustment of left and right steering lines!
For fixing the toggle a permanent knot is required, best suited is the single fisherman’s knot since
it is the least weakening for the line:
